Plane model, how to pose? !

Today, let's talk about how to pose a portrait. When diagonal lines are not used.

Don't take wide-angle and low-angle photos of your girlfriend, wife and secretary. Your task is to treat them as ladies or white-collar workers. So, straighten your mind first, and then straighten your camera!

Let's discuss the completely opposite technologies: horizontal angle and correct camera composition. We have all studied the basic theory of composition, so we should put the topic in the framework of 1/3. "That is to say, don't put the characters in the middle of the picture?" .

Let's discuss the case of not putting the subject in the middle first. The biggest problem at this time is how to balance the picture. Many people will decorate other scenery next to the characters, which is not good! There will be a lot of people there. You doubled the film you took for your girlfriend/wife/secretary in the park. Is there anyone standing next to the sculpture? That's an environmental portrait, so we won't discuss it.

The best way is to fill the other side with some imaginary lines, such as the model's eyes, as shown below: the model's eyes are in 1/3, and her eyes are in the other 1/3. Note that there is no blank space on the model's head, the background is simple, and the color and clothing match well.

background

Speaking of background, one center is "no more troops" and two basic points are:

1. Make sure that the model is the most eye-catching part of the film.

2。 Make sure that the head of the model is the strongest eye part (unless the head is not incomplete)

For example, the background of high-profile films and the skin of models in black and white films are all high-profile parts, but it is easy to ignore clothes. Be sure to pay attention to high-profile light-colored clothes.

The following is a negative textbook. I took it last year. I turned on the ceiling lamp and a desk lamp in front of the model. The model's face is stuck on the reflector. There is something wrong with the composition of this film, but I think the biggest problem is that the clothes should be light and thin.

Your attention in this film must be in the eyes of model mm.

So "generally speaking", if you have no special artistic intention, if the black-and-white portrait uses a black/dark background and the model's skin is light, you don't have to worry about the color of the clothing, but if the background is white/light, the model clothing industry will be light.

Return to portrait position

The most important thing in a posture is the hand. You can let a woman's girlfriend/wife/secretary touch her hair with her right hand, or hold the wall//props, or lean against her hips, or touch her collar, but I don't recommend holding her chin.

And the shoulder of the model. Some people like to make the model look back and smile and pat her on the back, but I don't like it. The main means of shoulder style is two shoulders, one high and one low, or one tandem.

Note the two hands of the model in this film.

Pay attention to the simple background, there is no space above the head,

Pay attention to the shoulders, one high and one low, giving people a very relaxed and natural feeling.

posture

Look at the hands and shoulders of the model. Shoulders tandem, hips consistent, naturally relaxed.

You think pose is actually very simple?

There is a very dangerous place in this film, which is the model's right hand.

I always thought that hands should be perfect and complete. If the arm is not in the film, then the "sudden" hand sometimes destroys the film.

It's still a simple background, with no blank on the head and harmonious colors. ...

Hand posture

Hairless hands.

Watch your shoulders.

The posture often adopted in severe chest circumference is to let the model lean forward slightly, with the front low and the back high.

Put your hands on your chin and knees.

I think this is the most difficult posture.

The combination of two hands is also very important.

The left arm and the right arm are at right angles, which becomes the skeleton to keep the film balanced.

If your girlfriend or secretary is very young, you can also try this provocative gesture:

Put your finger on your lips!

We slowly moved the model's hands, which should be at the neck and collar now.

Diagonal composition again.

As long as the model is dressed, she can put her hand on the collar, such as this film.

Pay attention to the modeling of the model's two arms (angle, height). You will also find that all the models' fingers are bent (as mentioned above, fingers that can be bent when modeling are bent). Why?

Very simple, if the finger is straight, it will be too conspicuous and suspected of usurping the role of the host! Unless you really want to show the model's hands.

The simplest hand shape should be akimbo, which looks more natural.

The first picture has a light background, but the clothes are dark?

Hehe, photography has no principles and theorems. I'm talking about my own experience, but this treatment must have ulterior motives, in order to attract the audience's attention to clothing.

I see, so swimsuits are all bright colors.

In this first film, the model's chin protrudes forward and is very aggressive, which is not suitable for overly serious models and overly serious clothing styles.

hair

I'm afraid a makeup artist is not enough for professional fashion photography, and a professional hair stylist is often needed. Have you ever thought about posing for your girlfriend/wife/secretary?

As mentioned above, the model can touch and scratch her hair. Here are some pictures to let the model's hair naturally float to her face and eyes.

Note: In general, don't let your hair block your eyes! The meaning of color Weng is not in hair, but also in hair, that is eyes!

Some photographers like to let models wet their hair with water, while others simply take hair as the subject of their photos.

props

Many accessories commonly used in girls' lives can be used as props for photography, which can help them pose, such as sunglasses, sun hats, scarves and so on.

Here are some examples of props.

Chairs can be seen everywhere, and making good use of them is also a good helper to help MM pose.

The following should be helpful for getting started quickly. Finally, add a sentence "for beginners' reference only".

I have a stunt you can try, that is, put the camera on a tripod, keep your eyes away from the viewfinder, pose the model, and then press the shutter after two or three seconds.

Because after you press the shutter, the first thing the model has to do is blink and then relax. At this point, she was completely unprepared for the camera. When she hasn't had time to change her style in two seconds, people's expressions are natural, and she often gets unexpected good movies.

It should be noted that don't grab the model when it blinks, and don't wait too long. The shape of the model has also changed.

There are many training model tutorials on the Internet, and you can also have a look. Most of those tutorials are aimed at entry-level models who want to enter the modeling industry. You can look at them and then teach your model some basic methods. You have to like unprofessional models. They really want your advice, and they are more willing to cooperate with a confident photographer (reflected in the tone, speed, movement and humor when you pose for her, blahblahblah).

1, the head and body should not be in a straight line. If the two are in a straight line, it will inevitably feel boring. Therefore, when the body is facing the camera, the head should turn slightly to the left or right, and the photo will look elegant and vivid; By the same token, when the subject's eyes are facing the camera, turning his body to a certain angle will make the picture look lively and dynamic and increase the three-dimensional sense.

2. Don't parallel your arms and legs. No matter whether the subject is sitting or standing, never let his arms or legs be parallel, because it will make people feel stiff and mechanical. The appropriate way can be that a song always forms a certain angle or both. This can not only cause movement, but also change posture.

3. Try to make the body shape curve clear. For female subjects, it is necessary to show their charming curves. The usual practice is to make one leg of a character a solid% b.
